Reminder Seattle: 1 Millionth Comment Party

Reminder that Sandra, Maria, Grrl, and I will be Ozzies this Saturday. Translation: beer! That’s Saturday, Sept. 27th at 4 pm in the upstairs mezzanine at Ozzie’s. The address is 105 W. Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98119. That’s in lower Queen Anne just east west of that gigantic need with a spaceship stuck on top of it.

If you can make it drop a note in the comment section so we can get a guesstimate on the number of people attending.

TiddlyPac
